is open to their influence.
Nat 1.15 20 There is no object so foul that intense

infinitude which it hath...make all matter gay.
Nat 1.17 13 Give me health and a day, and I will make
the pomp of
emperors ridiculous.
Nat 1.18 23 The succession of native plants in the
pastures and roadsides... will make even the divisions of the day
sensible to a keen observer.

make an analogous
impression on the mind.
Nat 1.29 10 The same symbols are found to make the
original elements of
all languages.

Nat 1.35 10 ...we must summon the aid of subtler and
more vital expositors
to make [the doctrine] plain.
Nat 1.43 6 All the endless variety of things make an
identical impression.
Nat 1.47 16 In my utter impotence...to know whether the
impressions [my
senses] make on me correspond with outlying objects, what difference
does
it make, whether Orion is up there in heaven, or some god paints the
image
in the firmament of the soul?
Nat 1.47 18 ...what difference does it make, whether
Orion is up there in
heaven, or some god paints the image in the firmament of the soul?
Nat 1.48 11 The frivolous make themselves merry with
the Ideal theory...
Nat 1.51 6 ...the most wonted objects, (make a very
slight change in the
point of vision,) please us most.
Nat 1.54 24 The perception of real affinities between
events...enables the
poet thus to make free with the most imposing forms and phenomena of
the
world...
Nat 1.75 3 We make fables to hide the baldness of the
fact...
AmS 1.88 10 ...no air-pump can by any means make a
perfect vacuum...
AmS 1.95 8 [The world's] attractions...make me
acquainted with myself.
AmS 1.107 9 [The poor and the low]...will perish to add
one drop of blood
to make that great heart beat...
AmS 1.114 13 Public and private avarice make the air we
breathe thick and
fat.
DSA 1.120 8 ...when the mind...reveals the laws which
traverse the
universe and make things what they are, then shrinks the great
world...into
a mere illustration...
DSA 1.123 10 The least admixture of a lie, - for
example...any attempt to
make a good impression...will instantly vitiate the effect.
DSA 1.133 12 The preachers do not see that they make
[Jesus's] gospel not
glad...
DSA 1.137 10 ...we can make, we do make...a far better,
holier, sweeter [Sabbath], for ourselves.
DSA 1.141 25 What a cruel injustice it is to that
Law...which alone can
make thought dear and rich;...that it is travestied and depreciated...
DSA 1.142 7 [The soul of the community] wants nothing
so much as a
stern, high, stoical, Christian discipline to make it know itself...
DSA 1.145 4 ...one good soul shall make the name of
Moses...reverend
forever.
LE 1.171 23 ...the first observation you make...may
open a new view of
nature and of man...
LE 1.181 1 Let the scholar appreciate this combination
of gifts, which, applied to better purpose, make true wisdom.
LE 1.181 14 Let [the scholar] know...by mutual reaction
of thought and
life, to make thought solid, and life wise;...
LE 1.181 25 The good scholar will not refuse...to make
his own hands
acquainted with the soil by which he is fed...
LE 1.182 4 Let [the scholar]...serve the world as a
true and noble man; never forgetting to worship the immortal divinities
who whisper to the poet
and make him the utterer of melodies that pierce the ear of eternal
time.
LE 1.183 15 They [whom the student's thoughts have
entertained or
inflamed] find...that he cannot make of his infrequent illumination a
portable taper to carry whither he would...
LE 1.183 22 Hence the temptation to the scholar...to
hear the question...to
make an answer of words in lack of the oracle of things.
LE 1.183 25 ...let [the scholar]...wait in patience,
knowing that truth can
make even silence eloquent and memorable.
LE 1.186 7 It is this domineering temper of the sensual
world that creates
the extreme need of the priests of science; and it is the office and
right of
the intellect to make and not take its estimate.
LE 1.186 22 Make yourself necessary to the world, and
mankind will give
you bread...
MN 1.198 3 What difference can it make whether [our
glance at the
realities around us] take the shape of exhortation...
MN 1.201 22 ...if...it be assumed that the final cause
of the world is to
make holy or wise or beautiful men, we see that it has not succeeded.
MN 1.202 3 When we have spent our wonder in computing
this wasteful
hospitality with which boon Nature turns off new firmaments...as fast
as the
madrepores make coral...one can hardly help asking...whether it be
quite
worth while to...glut the innocent space with so poor an article.
MN 1.202 15 ...one can hardly help asking if this
planet is a fair specimen
of the so generous astronomy...and whether it be quite worth while to
make
more...
MN 1.209 16 As children in their play run behind each
other, and seize one
by the ears and make him walk before them, so is the spirit our unseen
pilot.
MR 1.228 12 ...I will not dissemble my hope that each
person whom I
address has felt his own call...to be in his place...a brave and
upright man, who must...make it easier for all who follow him to go in
honor and with
benefit.
MR 1.232 1 In the Spanish islands, every agent or
factor of the Americans... has taken oath that he is a Catholic, or has
caused a priest to make that
declaration for him.
MR 1.235 11 ...will you...set every man to make his own
shoes, bureau, knife, wagon, sails, and needle?
MR 1.244 15 Give [any man's] mind a new image, and
he...is richer with
that dream than the fee of a county could make him.
MR 1.249 8 I ought not to allow any man, because he has
broad lands, to
feel that he is rich in my presence. I ought to make him feel that I
can do
without his riches...
MR 1.250 16 ...we cannot make a planet...by means of
the best carpenters'... tools...
MR 1.252 11 We make, by our distrust, the thief...
LT 1.262 9 ...trees make scenery, and constitute the
hospitality of the
landscape...
LT 1.262 18 [Persons] are the pungent instructors
who...make all other
teaching formal and cold.
LT 1.262 24 How [persons] make the tears start, make us
blush and turn
pale...
LT 1.263 1 ...[persons] have the skill to make the
world look bleak and
inhospitable, or seem the nest of tenderness and joy.
LT 1.272 7 Out of this fair Idea in the mind springs
the effort at the

other than he is.
LT 1.274 14 Religion was not invited...to make or
divide an estate...
LT 1.281 2 The exaggeration which our young people make
of [the slave's] wrongs, characterizes themselves.

[the reformers] hope to
make something alive.
Con 1.298 16 ...[conservatism] goes to make an adroit
member of the social
frame...
Con 1.309 20 Yonder sun in heaven you would pluck down
from shining
on the universe, and make him a property and privacy, if you could;...
Con 1.312 26 ...as soon as you put your gift to use,
you shall have acre or
acre's worth according to your exhibition of desert,-acre, if you need
land;-acre's worth, if you prefer to...make shoes or wheels, to the
tilling of
the soil.
Con 1.314 9 Under the richest robes...the strong heart
will beat...with the
desire to achieve its own fate and make every ornament it wears
authentic
and real.
Con 1.318 10 ...beside that charity which should make
all adult persons
interested for the youth...we are bound to see that the society of
which we
compose a part, does not permit the formation...of views...injurious to
the
honor and welfare of mankind.
Con 1.320 11 [Conservatism's] social and political
action has no better
aim;...to bring the week and year about, and make the world last our
day;...
Con 1.324 1 It will never make any difference to a hero
what the laws are.
Con 1.324 7 If [the hero] have earned his bread...in
the narrow and crooked
ways which were all an evil law had left him, he will make it at least
honorable by his expenditure.
Con 1.324 12 ...[the hero] will say, All the meanness
of my progenitors
shall not bereave me of the power to make this hour and company fair
and
fortunate.
Con 1.325 10 It is my business to make myself revered.
Tran 1.334 27 You think me the child of my
circumstances: I make my
circumstance.
Tran 1.335 16 ...I say I make my circumstance;...
Tran 1.344 15 ...it seems as if this loneliness, and
not this love, would
prevail in [the Transcendentalists'] circumstances, because of the
extravagant demand they make on human nature.
Tran 1.344 24 [Transcendentalists] make us feel the
strange
disappointment which overcasts every human youth.
Tran 1.349 10 You make very free use of these words
great and holy, but
few things appear to [Transcendentalists] such.
Tran 1.350 7 Once possessed of the principle, it is
equally easy to make
four or forty thousand applications of it.
Tran 1.353 18 So little skill enters into these works,
so little do they mix
with the divine life, that it really signifies little...whether we turn
a
grindstone...or make fortunes...
Tran 1.354 20 In the eternal trinity of Truth,
Goodness, and Beauty... [Transcendentalists] prefer to make Beauty the
sign and head.
YA 1.367 13 There is no feature of the old countries
that strikes an
American with more agreeable surprise than the beautiful gardens of
Europe;...works...which might well make the land dear to the citizen...
YA 1.368 6 A little grove, which any farmer can find or
cause to grow near
his house, will in a few years make cataracts...quite unnecessary to
his
scenery;...
YA 1.368 16 ...the culture of years will never make the
most painstaking
apprentice [the man of genius's] equal...
YA 1.369 5 ...these [European estates] make model
farms...
YA 1.375 8 ...we make prospective laws...for remote
generations.
YA 1.378 6 Trade goes to make the governments
insignificant...
YA 1.380 16 In Paris, the blouse, the badge of the
operative, has begun to
make its appearance in the salons.
YA 1.382 4 Here are Etzlers and mechanical projectors,
who...undoubtingly
affirm that the smallest union would make every man rich;...
YA 1.383 6 It has turned out cheaper to make calico by
companies;...
YA 1.386 13 How can our young men complain of the
poverty of things in
New England, and not feel that poverty as a demand on their charity to
make New England rich?
YA 1.388 22 The 'opposition' papers, so called, are on
the same side. They
attack the great capitalist, but with the aim to make a capitalist of
the poor
man.
Hist 2.6 18 Universal history, the poets, the
romancers, do not in their
stateliest pictures...anywhere make us feel...that this is for better
men;...
Hist 2.9 5 ...the purpose of nature, betrays itself in
the use we make of the
signal narrations of history.
Hist 2.9 21 This life of ours is stuck round
with...Church, Court and
Commerce, as with so many flowers and wild ornaments grave and gay. I
will not make more account of them.
Hist 2.13 3 Why should we make account of time...
Hist 2.15 16 Every one must have observed faces and
forms which, without
any resembling feature, make a like impression on the beholder.
Hist 2.24 24 A sparse population and want [in the
Grecian period] make
every man his own valet, cook, butcher and soldier...
Hist 2.33 3 Those men who cannot answer by a superior
wisdom these facts
or questions of time, serve them. Facts...tyrannize over them, and make
the
men of routine...
Hist 2.38 24 You shall make me feel what periods you
have lived.
SR 2.48 21 ...[the youth] will know how to make us
seniors very
unnecessary.
SR 2.50 15 I remember an answer which when quite young
I was prompted
to make to a valued adviser...
SR 2.60 18 I will stand here for humanity, and though I
would make it
kind, I would make it true.
SR 2.61 5 The man must be so much that he must make all
circumstances
indifferent.
SR 2.63 16 The joyful loyalty with which men have
everywhere suffered
the king...to...make his own scale of men and things...was the
hieroglyphic
by which they obscurely signified...the right of every man.
SR 2.67 5 These roses under my window make no reference
to former roses
or to better ones;...
SR 2.77 1 ...the moment [a man] acts from
himself...that teacher shall... make his name dear to all history.
SR 2.81 6 ...when [the wise man's]...duties...call
him...into foreign lands, he...shall make men sensible by the
expression of his countenance that he
goes, the missionary of wisdom and virtue...
SR 2.87 4 The Emperor held it impossible to make a
perfect army, says Las
Casas, without abolishing our arms...
SR 2.87 15 The persons who make up a nation to-day,
next year die...
Comp 2.96 10 If a man dogmatize in a mixed company on
Providence and
the divine laws, he is answered by a silence which conveys well enough
to
an observer the dissatisfaction of the hearer, but his incapacity to
make his
own statement.
Comp 2.97 6 ...each thing is a half, and suggests
another thing to make it
whole;...
Comp 2.100 12 If you make the criminal code sanguinary,
juries will not
convict.
Comp 2.100 27 Under the primeval despots of Egypt...man
must have been
as free as culture could make him.
Comp 2.105 18 So signal is the failure of all attempts
to make this
separation of the good from the tax, that the experiment would not be
tried... but for the circumstance that when the disease began in the
will...the
intellect is at once infected...
Comp 2.107 11 It would seem there is always this
vindictive circumstance
stealing in at unawares even into the wild poesy in which the human
fancy
attempted to make bold holiday...
Comp 2.111 2 The senses would make things of all
persons;...
Comp 2.119 14 The history of persecution is a history
of endeavors...to
make water run up hill...
Comp 2.123 24 Look at those who have less faculty, and
one...knows not
well what to make of it.
Comp 2.124 9 ...he that loveth maketh his own the
grandeur he loves. Thereby I make the discovery that my brother is my
guardian...
SL 2.135 7 ...our life might be much easier and simpler
than we make it;...
SL 2.136 2 Love should make joy;...
SL 2.142 3 Somewhere, not only every orator but every
man...should find
or make a frank and hearty expression of what force and meaning is in
him.
SL 2.142 15 If the labor is mean, let [a man] by his
thinking and character
make it liberal.
SL 2.143 10 What we call obscure condition or vulgar
society is that
condition and society...which you shall presently make as enviable and
renowned as any.
SL 2.143 15 To make habitually a new estimate,--that is
elevation.
SL 2.153 26 ...when the empty book has gathered all its
praise...it still
needs fuel to make fire.
SL 2.154 2 ...we can only be valued as we make
ourselves valuable.
SL 2.154 4 They who make up the final verdict upon
every book are not the
partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears...
SL 2.161 23 The object of the man...is to make daylight
shine through him...
SL 2.162 8 Why should we make it a point with our false
modesty to
disparage that man we are...
SL 2.164 1 Let us, if we must have great actions, make
our own so.
Lov1 2.171 13 Let any man go back to those delicious
relations which
make the beauty of his life...he will shrink and moan.
Lov1 2.175 8 ...no man ever forgot the visitations of
that power to his heart
and brain...when a single tone of one voice could make the heart
bound...
Lov1 2.175 22 ...the figures, the motions, the words of
the beloved object... make the study of midnight...
Lov1 2.184 27 Romeo, if dead, should be cut up into
little stars to make the
heavens fine.
Lov1 2.188 15 There are moments when the
affections...make [the man's] happiness dependent on a person or
persons.
Fdsp 2.191 21 ...[the emotions of benevolence and
complacency] make the
sweetness of life.
Fdsp 2.193 14 What is so pleasant as these jets of
affection which make a
young world for me again?
Fdsp 2.197 8 I cannot make your consciousness
tantamount to mine.
Fdsp 2.214 2 Whatever correction of our popular views
we make from
insight, nature will be sure to bear us out in...
Prd1 2.221 6 I have no skill to make money spend
well...
Prd1 2.226 7 The hard soil and four months of snow make
the inhabitant of
the northern temperate zone wiser and abler than his fellow who enjoys
the
fixed smile of the tropics.
Prd1 2.229 2 ...what is more lonesome and sad than the
sound of a
whetstone or mower's rifle when it is too late in the season to make
hay?
Prd1 2.234 5 Let [a man] make the night night, and the
day day.
Prd1 2.235 23 ...let [a man] not make his
fellow-creatures wait.
Prd1 2.236 7 ...let [a man]...feel the admonition
to...keep a slender human
word among the storms , distances and accidents that drive us hither
and
thither, and, by persistency, make the paltry force of one man reappear
to
redeem its pledge after months and years in the most distant climates.
Prd1 2.237 7 ...treat [men] greatly and they will show
themselves great, though they make an exception in your favor to all
their rules of trade.
Prd1 2.237 15 Let [a man] front the object of his worst
apprehension, and
his stoutness will commonly make his fear groundless.
Prd1 2.237 18 Entire self-possession may make a battle
very little more
dangerous to life than a match at foils...
Prd1 2.239 4 What low, poor, paltry, hypocritical
people an argument on
religion will make of the pure and chosen souls!
Hsm1 2.246 10 Let not soft nature so transformed be,/
And lose her gentler
sexed humanity,/ to make me see my lord bleed. So, 't is well;/...
Hsm1. 2.252 27 ...the little man takes the great hoax
[the world] so
innocently...that the great soul cannot choose but laugh at such
earnest
nonsense. Indeed, these humble considerations make me out of love with
greatness.
Hsm1 2.258 27 The magic [many extraordinary young men]
used was the
ideal tendencies, which always make the Actual ridiculous;...
Hsm1 2.260 23 A simple manly character need never make
an apology...
Hsm1 2.261 6 Has nature covenanted with me that I
should...never make a
ridiculous figure?
OS 2.271 7 ...the soul, whose organ [what we commonly
call man] is, would he let it appear through his action, would make our
knees bend.
OS 2.288 13 In these instances [the scholar and author]
the intellectual gifts
do not make the impression of virtue...
OS 2.289 20 Why...should I make account of Hamlet and
Lear, as if we had
not the soul from which they fell as syllables from the tongue?
OS 2.291 9 Nothing can pass [in the soul], or make you
one of the circle, but the casting aside your trappings...
OS 2.292 7 Souls like these make us feel that sincerity
is more excellent
than flattery.
OS 2.294 22 God will not make himself manifest to
cowards.
Cir 2.315 18 Think how many times we shall fall back
into pitiful
calculations before we...make the verge of to-day the new centre.
Cir 2.318 27 ...that which is made instructs how to
make a better.
Cir 2.321 2 The difference between talents and
character is adroitness to
keep the old and trodden round, and power and courage to make a new
road
to new and better goals.
Int 2.326 24 All that mass of mental and moral
phenomena which we do
not make objects of voluntary thought, come within the power of
fortune;...
Int 2.328 7 What has my will done to make me that I am?
Int 2.329 3 We are the prisoners of ideas. They...so
fully engage us that
we...gaze like children, without an effort to make them our own.
Int 2.333 12 I knew...a person...who, seeing my whim
for writing, fancied
that my experiences had somewhat superior; whilst I saw that his
experiences were as good as mine. Give them to me and I would make the
same use of them.
Int 2.333 25 If you...make hay...and then retire within
doors, and shut your
eyes and press them with your hand, you shall still see...the tasselled
grass....
Int 2.335 16 ...to make [the thought] available it
needs a vehicle or art by
which it is conveyed to men.
Int 2.339 21 Is it any better if the student...aims to
make a mechanical
whole of history...by a numerical addition of all the facts that fall
within his
vision.
Int 2.341 7 ...though we make [the new thought] our own
we instantly
crave another;...
Art1 2.349 12 Let statue, picture, park and hall,/
Ballad, flag and festival,/ The past restore, the day adorn/ And make
each morrow a new morn./
Art1 2.354 24 It is the habit of certain minds to give
an all-excluding
fulness to...the word, they alight upon, and to make that for the time
the
deputy of the world.
Art1 2.356 19 The best pictures are rude draughts of a
few of the
miraculous dots and lines and dyes which make up the everchanging
landscape with figures amidst which we dwell.
Art1 2.363 11 Art has not yet come to its maturity...if
it do not make the
poor and uncultivated feel that it addresses them with a voice of lofty
cheer.
Art1 2.363 27 ...[art's] highest effect is to make new
artists.
Art1 2.366 14 Men are not well pleased with the figure
they make in their
own imaginations, and they flee to art...
Art1 2.367 8 Now men do not see nature to be beautiful,
and they go to
make a statue which shall be.
Art1 2.369 3 The boat at St. Petersburg, which plies
along the Lena by
magnetism, needs little to make it sublime.
Pt1 3.6 5 Too feeble fall the impressions of nature on
us to make us artists.
Pt1 3.14 9 ...of the soul, the body form doth take,/
For soul is form, and
doth the body make./
Pt1 3.16 26 Some stars...on an old rag of
bunting...shall make the blood
tingle...
Pt1 3.17 10 ...the distinctions which we make in events
and in affairs, of
low and high...disappear when nature is used as a symbol.
Pt1 3.32 4 [Poets] are free, and they make free.
Exp 3.48 23 Grief too will make us idealists.
Exp 3.49 27 Direct strokes [nature] never gave us power
to make;...
Exp 3.51 10 Of what use to make heroic vows of
amendment, if the same
old law-breaker is to keep them?
Exp 3.56 18 ...thou wert born to a whole and this story
is a particular? The
reason of the pain this discovery causes us (and we make it late in
respect to
works of art and intellect) is the plaint of tragedy which murmurs from
it in
regard to persons, to friendship and love.
Exp 3.71 22 ...every insight from this realm of
thought...promises a sequel. I do not make it; I arrive there, and
behold what was there already.
Exp 3.71 24 I make! O no! I clap my hands in infantine
joy and amazement
before the first opening to me of this august magnificence...
Exp 3.75 17 ...scepticisms...are limitations of the
affirmative statement, and
the new philosophy must take them in and make affirmations outside of
them...
Exp 3.76 12 ...the fop contrived to dress his bailiffs
in his livery and make
them wait on his guests at table...
Exp 3.77 16 Never can love make consciousness and
ascription equal in
force.
Exp 3.80 22 A subject and an object,--it takes so much
to make the
galvanic circuit complete...
Exp 3.84 3 When I receive a new gift, I do not macerate
my body to make
the account square...
Exp 3.84 5 When I receive a new gift, I do not macerate
my body to make
the account square, for if I should die I could not make the account
square.
Exp 3.85 4 ...I have not found that much was gained by
manipular attempts
to realize the world of thought. Many eager persons successively make
an
experiment in this way, and make themselves ridiculous.
Exp 3.85 22 We dress our garden, eat our dinners...and
these things make
no impression...
Chr1 3.91 10 The people know that they need in their
representative much
more than talent, namely the power to make his talent trusted.
Chr1 3.93 8 ...nobody in the universe can make [the
natural merchant's] place good.
Chr1 3.95 26 ...it is the privilege of truth to make
itself believed.
Chr1 3.102 16 [Men] must...make us feel that they have
a controlling
happy future opening before them...
Chr1 3.103 26 ...it was droll in the good Riemer, who
has written the
memoirs of Goethe, to make out a list of his donations and good
deeds...
Chr1 3.110 21 The coldest precisian cannot go abroad
without
encountering inexplicable influences. One man fastens an eye on him
and... the secrets that make him wretched either to keep or to betray
must be
yielded;...
Chr1 3.112 6 Could we not deal with a few
persons,--with one person,-- after the unwritten statutes, and make an
experiment of their efficacy?
Mrs1 3.124 13 The courage which girls exhibit is
like...a sea-fight. The
intellect relies on memory to make some supplies to face these
extemporaneous squadrons.
Mrs1 3.132 5 ...good sense and character make their own

Thor 10.474 3 Occasionally, a small party of Penobscot

harangues without in the least embarrassing his march or confounding
his
transitions.
FSLN 11.225 10 Nobody doubts that Daniel Webster could
make a good
speech.
FSLN 11.231 8 [Reasonable men] side with Carolina, or
with Arkansas, only to make a show of Whig strength...
FSLN 11.234 27 To make good the cause of Freedom, you
must draw off
from all foolish trust in others.
FSLN 11.235 21 ...[the self-reliant man] will know out
of his arms to make
a pillow, and out of his breast a bolster.
FSLN 11.235 26 I conceive that thus to detach a man and
make him feel
that he is to owe all to himself is the way to make him strong and
rich;...
FSLN 11.235 27 I conceive that thus to detach a man and
make him feel
that he is to owe all to himself is the way to make him strong and
rich;...
FSLN 11.243 1 You, gentlemen of these literary and
scientific schools, and
the important class you represent, have the power to make your verdict
clear and prevailing.
AsSu 11.250 2 I have heard that some of [Charles
Sumner's] political
friends tax him with indolence or negligence in refusing to make
electioneering speeches...
JBB 11.268 8 [John Brown] is a man to make friends
wherever on earth
courage and integrity are esteemed...
JBS 11.277 13 ...I mean, in the few remarks I have to
make, to...let [John
Brown] speak for himself.
TPar 11.289 2 [Theodore Parker] never kept back the
truth for fear to make
an enemy.
ACiv 11.299 17 Is [man] not to make his knowledge
practical?...
ACiv 11.300 18 Neither was anything concealed of the
theory or practice of
slavery. To what purpose make more big books of these statistics?
ACiv 11.301 17 ...there is no one owner of the state,
but a good many small
owners. ... It is clearly a vast inconvenience to each of these to make
any
change...
ACiv 11.301 27 Banknotes rob the public, but are such a
daily convenience
that we...make believe they are gold.
ACiv 11.302 10 In this national crisis, it is not
argument that we want, but
that rare courage which dares commit itself to a principle, believing
that
Nature...will...more than make good any petty and injurious profit
which it
may disturb.
ACiv 11.306 19 ...what kind of peace shall at that
moment be easiest
attained, [the people] will make concessions for it...
ACiv 11.309 13 An unprecedented material prosperity has
not tended to
make us Stoics or Christians.
ACiv 11.311 2 ...it is not yet too late to begin the
emancipation; but we
think it will always be too late to make it gradual.
EPro 11.315 15 [Liberty] comes, like religion...in rare
conditions, as if
awaiting a culture of the race which shall make it organic and
permanent.
ALin 11.328 2 Nature, they say, doth dote,/ And cannot
make a man/ Save
on some worn-out plan,/ Repeating us by rote/...
ALin 11.336 26 ...what if it should turn out, in the
unfolding of the web... that Heaven...shall make [Lincoln] serve his
country even more by his death
than by his life?
HCom 11.342 27 [Our young men] said, It is not in me to
resist. I go [to
war] because I must. It is a duty which I shall never forgive myself if
I
decline. I do not know that I can make a soldier.
SMC 11.349 7 ...the facts which make to us the interest
of this day are in a
great degree personal and local here;...
SMC 11.351 26 'T is certain that a plain stone like
this [the Concord
Monument]...becomes...an altar where the noble youth shall in all time
come to make his secret vows.
SMC 11.360 16 [The Civil War soldiers] have to think
carefully of every
last resource at home on which their wives or mothers may fall back;
upon... the grass that can be sold, the old cow, or the heifer. These
necessities make
the topics of the ten thousand letters with which the mail-bags came
loaded
day by day.
SMC 11.369 25 [George Prescott writes] We laid
[Lieutenant Barrow] in
two double blankets, and then sent off a long distance and got boards
off a
barn to make the best coffin we could...
SMC 11.371 12 I must not follow the multiplied details
that make the hard
work of the next year.
EdAd 11.388 5 We are more solicitous than others to
make our politics
clear and healthful...
Wom 11.406 16 [Women] learn so fast and convey the
result so fast as to
outrun the logic of their slow brother, and make his acquisitions poor.
Wom 11.413 25 The first thing men think of, when they
love, is to exhibit
their usefulness and advantages to the object of their affection. Women
make light of these, asking only love.
Wom 11.420 27 Those whom you [women] teach, and those
whom you
half teach, will fast enough make themselves considered...
Wom 11.424 22 The aspiration of this century will be
the code of the next. It holds...of the same influences that make the
sun and moon.
Wom 11.425 1 ...let [new opinions] make their way by
the upper road...
Wom 11.426 6 ...there are always a certain number of
passionately loving
fathers, brothers, husbands and sons who put their might into the
endeavor
to make a daughter, a wife, or a mother happy in the way that suits
best.
SHC 11.429 9 Citizens and Friends: The committee to
whom was confided
the charge of carrying out the wishes of the town [Concord] in opening
the [Sleep Hollow] cemetary...have thought it fit to call the
inhabitants
together, to show you the ground, now that the new avenues make its
advantages appear;...
SHC 11.430 21 We will not jealously guard a few atoms
under immense
marbles, selfishly and impossibly sequestering it from the vast
circulations
of Nature, but, at the same time...wishing to make one spot tender to
our
children...
SHC 11.431 7 ...[trees] make the landscape;...
SHC 11.435 3 ...though we make much ado in our praises
of Italy or
Andes, Nature makes not so much difference.
SHC 11.435 8 ...we must look forward also, and make
ourselves a thousand
years old;...
RBur 11.439 10 ...I must trust to the inspirations of
the theme [of the Burns
Festival] to make a fitness which does not otherwise exist.
Scot 11.464 5 ...I believe that many of those who read
[Scott's books] in
youth...will make some fond exception for Scott as for Byron.
Scot 11.464 27 [Scott's] good sense probably elected
the ballad to make his
audience larger.
FRO2 11.486 10 ...there is a force always at work to
make the best better
and the worst good.
CPL 11.495 15 Happier, if [the town] contain citizens
who cannot wait for
the slow growth of the population to make these advantages adequate to
the
desires of the people...
CPL 11.495 16 Happier, if [the town] contain citizens
who...make costly
gifts to education, civility and culture...
CPL 11.497 2 If you consider what has befallen you when
reading...a
tragedy, or a novel, even, that deeply interested you...you will easily
admit
the wonderful property of books to make all towns equal...
CPL 11.505 10 A man, that strives to make himself a
different thing from
other men by much reading gains this chiefest good, that in all
fortunes he
hath something to entertain and comfort himself withal.
CPL 11.508 12 ...read proudly; put the duty of being
read invariably on the
author. If he is not read, whose fault is it? I am quite ready to be
charmed,- but I shall not make believe I am charmed.
FRep 11.512 9 The theatre avails itself of the best
talent of poet, of painter, and of amateur of taste, to make the
ensemble of dramatic effect.
FRep 11.515 16 When the cannon is aimed by ideas...when
men die for
what they live for...then the cannon articulates its explosions with
the voice
of a man, then the rifle seconds the cannon and the fowling-piece the
rifle, and the women make cartridges...and the better code of laws at
last records
the victory.
FRep 11.516 13 We are in these days settling for
ourselves and our
descendants questions which...will make the peace and prosperity or the
calamity of the next ages.
FRep 11.520 14 We feel toward [politicians] as the
minister about the Cape
Cod farm,-in the old time when the minister was still invited, in the
spring, to make a prayer for the blessing of a piece of land,-the good
pastor being brought to the spot, stopped short: No, this land does not
want
a prayer, this land wants manure.
FRep 11.528 8 All this [American] forwardness and
self-reliance...proceed
on the belief that as the people have made a government they can make
another;...
FRep 11.528 10 All this [American] forwardness and
self-reliance... proceed on the belief...that [the people's] union and
law are not in their
memory, but in their blood and condition. If they unmake a law, they
can
easily make a new one.
FRep 11.533 13 We buy much of Europe that does not make
us better
men;...
FRep 11.534 4 A man is coming, here as [in England], to
value himself on
what he can buy. Worst of all, his expense is not his own, but a
far-off copy
of Osborne House or the Elysee. The tendency of this is to make all men
alike;...
FRep 11.535 24 The class of which I speak make
themselves merry
without duties.
FRep 11.539 26 ...if we have taught the river to make
shoes and nails and
carpets...let these wonders work for honest humanity...
FRep 11.540 8 We shall not make coups d'etat and
afterwards explain and
pay...
FRep 11.541 20 The genius of the country has marked out
our true
policy,-opportunity. Opportunity...of personal power, and not less of
wealth; doors wide open. If I could have it,-free trade with all the
world
without toll or custom-houses, invitation as we now make to every
nation...
PLT 12.9 3 Here [in society] each is to make room for
others...
PLT 12.16 1 The grandeur of the impression the stars
and heavenly bodies
make on us is surely more valuable than our exact perception of a tub
or a
table on the ground.
PLT 12.21 14 The life of the All must stream through us
to make the man
and the moment great.
PLT 12.24 6 There are those who disputing will make you
dispute...
PLT 12.25 19 The commonest remark, if the man could
only extend it a
little, would make him a genius;...
PLT 12.36 6 [Pan] could intoxicate by the strain of his
shepherd's pipe,- silent yet to most, for his pipes make the music of
the spheres...
PLT 12.38 26 A man is intellectual in proportion as he
can make an object
of every sensation, perception and intuition;...
PLT 12.42 22 The highest measure of poetic power is
such insight and
faculty to fuse the circumstances of to-day as shall make transparent
the
whole web of circumstance and opinion in which the man finds himself...
PLT 12.45 12 There is indeed this vice about men of
thought, that you
cannot quite trust them;...because they...make a distinction in favor
of
themselves from the rules they apply to the human race.
PLT 12.46 9 Will is the advance to that...to which the
inward magnet ever
points, and which we dare to make ours.
PLT 12.52 11 ...because [men] know one thing, we defer
to them in
another, and find them really contemptible. We can't make a half bow
and
say, I honor and despise you.
PLT 12.53 12 Every sincere man is right, or, to make
him right, only needs
a little larger dose of his own personality.
PLT 12.53 17 When [a man] speaks out of another's mind,
we detect it. He
can't make any paint stick but his own.
PLT 12.54 6 The novelist should not make any character
act absurdly, but
only absurdly as seen by others.
II 12.67 7 To make a practical use of this instinct in
every part of life
constitutes true wisdom...
II 12.75 19 ...your nature and genius will certainly
give your vigilance the
slip...and will educate the children by the inevitable infusions of its
quality. You will do as you can. Why then cumber yourself about it, and
make
believe be better than you are?
II 12.79 9 ...you shall not speak of any work of art
except in its presence; then you will...make no blunder.
II 12.79 23 The thoughts which wander through our mind,
we do not
absorb and make flesh of...
II 12.81 1 The powers that make the capitalist are
metaphysical...
II 12.84 20 Men generally attempt, early in life, to
make their brothers, afterwards their wives, acquainted with what is
going forward in their
private theatre;...
Mem 12.90 19 The sparrow, the ant, the worm, have the
same memory as
we. If you...offer them somewhat disagreeable to their senses, they
make
one or two trials, and then once for all avoid it.
Mem 12.95 19 This power [of memory] will alone make a
man
remarkable;...
Mem 12.100 12 ...if [men of great presence of mind]
cannot remember the
rule they can make one.
Mem 12.105 12 Michael Angelo, after having once seen a
work of any
other artist, would remember it so perfectly that if it pleased him to
make
use of any portion thereof, he could do so...
CInt 12.129 14 Only bring a deep observer, and he will
make light of the
new shop or old cathedral...
CL 12.151 18 Man...pumps the sap of all this forest
through his arteries;... and the immensity of life seems to make the
world deep and wide.
CL 12.152 5 ...[in October] all the trees are
wind-harps, filling the air with
music; and all men...walk to the measure of rhymes they make or
remember.
CL 12.153 18 Shores in sight of each other in a warm
climate make boat-builders;...
CL 12.156 17 If you wish to know the shortcomings of
poetry and
language, try to reproduce the October picture to a city company,-and
see
what you make of it.
CL 12.157 20 Every acquisition we make in the science
of beauty is so
sweet that I think it is cheaply paid for by what accompanies it, of
course, the prating and affectation of connoisseurship.
CL 12.163 9 If we should now say a few words on the
advantages that
belong to the conversation with Nature, I might set them so high as to
make
it a religious duty.
CW 12.174 6 [A man in his wood-lot] can fancy
that...even the trees make
little speeches or hint them.
CW 12.174 22 Make a calendar...of the year, that you
may never miss your
favorites [among the plants] in their month.
CW 12.177 1 This is my ideal of the powers of wealth.
Find out what lake
or sea Agassiz wishes to explore, and offer to carry him there, and he
will
make you acquainted with all its fishes...
CW 12.178 23 Cities force the growth and make [the man]
talkative and
entertaining...
CW 12.178 24 Cities force the growth and make [the man]
talkative and
entertaining, but they make him artificial.
Bost 12.182 12 Let the blood of [Boston's] hundred
thousands/ Throb in
each manly vein,/ And the wits of all her wisest/ Make sunshine in her
brain./
Bost 12.191 7 Snow and moonlight make all places
alike;...
Bost 12.210 17 The [American] heroes only shared this
power of a
sentiment, which, if it now breathes into us, will make it easy to us
to
understand them, and we shall no longer flatter them.
MAng1 12.228 18 [Michelangelo] used to make to a single
figure nine, ten, or twelve heads before he could satisfy himself...
MAng1 12.234 1 ...as...[Michelangelo] sought to
approach the Beautiful by
the study of the True, so he failed not to make the next step of
progress, and
to seek Beauty in its highest form, that of Goodness.
MAng1 12.238 13 ...just here [said Vasari's servant to
Michelangelo], before your door, is a spot of soft mud, and [the
candles] will stand upright
in it very well, and there I will light them all. Put them down, then,
returned
Michael, since you shall not make a bonfire at my gate.
Milt1 12.255 14 Addison, Pope, Hume and Johnson,
students...of the same
subject [human nature], cannot, taken together, make any pretension to
the
amount or the quality of Milton's inspirations.
Milt1 12.257 22 [Milton] insists that music shall make
a part of a generous
education.
Milt1 12.260 10 At nineteen years...[Milton] addresses
his native language, saying to it that it would be his choice to leave
trifles for a grave
argument,-Such as may make thee search thy coffers round,/ Before thou
clothe my fancy in fit sound;/...
Milt1 12.262 24 Among so many contrivances as the world
has seen to
make holiness ugly, in Milton at least it was so pure a flame that the
foremost impression his character makes is that of elegance.
Milt1 12.269 12 The part [Milton] took, the zeal of his
fellowship, make us
acquainted with the greatness of his spirit as in tranquil times we
could not
have known it.
Milt1 12.277 17 What schools and epochs of common
rhymers would it
need to make a counterbalance to the severe oracles of [Milton's]
muse...
ACri 12.283 2 Literature is but a poor trick...when it
busies itself to make
words pass for things;...
ACri 12.286 8 Luther said, I preach coarsely; that
giveth content to all. Hebrew, Greek and Latin I spare, until we
learned ones come together, and
then we make it so curled and finical that God himself wondereth at us.
ACri 12.298 17 ...one would think...a sympathizing and
much-reading
America would make a new treaty or send a minister extraordinary to
offer
congratulations of honoring delight to England in acknowledgment of
such
a donation [as Carlyle's History of Frederick II];...
ACri 12.300 10 The world, history, the powers of
Nature,-[the poet] can
make them speak what sense he will.
ACri 12.300 14 To make of motes mountains, and of
mountains motes, Isocrates said, was the orator's office.
ACri 12.303 2 ...this is the ball that is tossed...in
the history of every mind
by sovereignty of thought to make facts and men obey our present humor
or
belief.
ACri 12.304 14 [The classic] does not make a novel to
establish a principle
of political economy.
MLit 12.311 4 ...[the library of the Present Age]
vents...books...which
leave no man where they found him, but make him better or worse;...
MLit 12.316 10 Has [the writer] led thee to Nature
because his own soul
was too happy in beholding her power and love? Or is his passion for
the
wilderness only...the exhibition of a talent...which...would not make
itself
intelligible to the wise man of another age or country?
MLit 12.330 6 An interchangeable Truth, Beauty and
Goodness, each
wholly interfused in the other, must make the humors of that eye which
would see causes reaching to their last effect...
WSL 12.337 19 ...[John Bull] wonders that [Americans]
do not make elder-wine
and cherry-bounce, since here are cherries, and every mile is crammed
with elder-bushes.
WSL 12.341 2 Mr. Landor is one of the foremost of that
small class who
make good in the nineteenth century the claims of pure literature.
WSL 12.343 2 Whatever can make for itself an element,
means, organs, servants and the most profound and permanent existence
in the hearts and
heads of millions of men, must have a reason for its being.
WSL 12.346 6 These merits make Mr. Landor's position in
the republic of
letters one of great mark and dignity.
Pray 12.353 8 At whatever price, I must be alone with
thee [My Father]; this must be the demand I make.
Pray 12.355 3 When nought on earth seemeth pleasant to
me, thou dost
make thyself known to me...
AgMs 12.362 19 ...a farm will not make an honest man
rich in money.
AgMs 12.363 12 The true men of skill, the poor
farmers...are the only right
subjects of this Report [Agricultural Survey of the Commonwealth]; yet
these make no figure in it.
EurB 12.365 8 Wordsworth's nature or character has had
all the time it
needed in order to make its mark...
EurB 12.371 10 [Tennyson] is...a tasteful bachelor who
collects quaint
staircases and groined ceilings. We have no right to such
superfineness. We
must not make our bread of pure sugar.
Trag 12.411 7 ...a terror of freezing to death that
seizes a man in a winter
midnight on the moors; a fright at uncertain sounds heard by a family
at
night in the cellar or on the stairs,-are terrors that make the knees
knock... but are no tragedy...
make-believe, n. (2)
ET1 5.6 26 Here is my [Greenough's] theory of
structure...the entire and
immediate banishment of all make-shift and make-believe.
Wsp 6.209 5 ...the arts sink into shift and
make-believe.
